Hi.
I got a little problem, or i am probabely just blind.

I want to change the password of one user. Unfortunately i can't do so. Is there a way to edit passwortds of users?

Thanks and regards!

Is this feature really not implemented

I really need to change the password.

By the way, can i at least see the passwords of the users?

Thanks and regards!

Hi Littob!

I don't get your point. Actually it’s not possible – but anyhow, if you would be able to change the password the user has no access to the forum any more. If you want to block him/her, this feature is available.

By the way, can i at least see the passwords of the users?

Only if you ‘speak’ MySQL. The encrypted password is stored in the database – of course not as plain text. This would be a severe security issue.

Thank you for the answer!
But what if a user forget his password and ask me if i can tell him the old one or give him a new one?
Is there no way to do so, except deleting the user an add him once again???
